Monmouth County, New Jersey
–
Monmouth County /ˈmɒnməθ/ is a county located in Central New Jersey, in the United States within the New York metropolitan area, and the northernmost county along the Jersey Shore. As of 2010, the county fell to the fifth-most populous county in the state and its county seat is Freehold Borough. The most populous place was Middletown Township, with 66,522 residents at the time of the 2010 Census, while Howell Township covered 61.21 square miles, the largest total area of any municipality. Monmouth County ranked 38th among the counties in the United States as of 2011. As of 2009, it was ranked 56th in the United States by personal per-capita income, among the first European settlers and majority landowners in the area was Richard and Penelope Stout. Penelope miraculously survived her wounds from an attack in Sandy Hook. Additionally, a group of Quaker families from Long Island who settled the Monmouth Tract and they were followed by a group of Scottish settlers who inhabited Freehold Township in about 1682–85, followed several years later by Dutch settlers. As they arrived in this area, they were greeted by Lenape Native Americans, enslaved Africans were present in the area from at least 1680, and by 1726 made up 9% of the total population of the county. Monmouth County was established on March 7,1683, while part of the province of East Jersey, on October 31,1693, the county was partitioned into the townships of Freehold, Middletown and Shrewsbury. Its name may come from the Rhode Island Monmouth Society or from a suggestion from Colonel Lewis Morris that the county should be named after Monmouthshire in Wales, Great Britain. Other suggestions include that it was named for James Scott, 1st Duke of Monmouth, in 1714, the first county government was established. It was at Monmouth that the tactics and training from Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben developed at Valley Forge during the encampment were first implemented on a large scale. At independence, Monmouths population included 1,640 slaves, as well as a number of free African Americans. The number of enslaved persons fell steeply after 1820, though a number remained until at least 1850. Monmouths free African American population climbed from 353 in 1790 to 2,658 in 1860. According to the 2010 Census, the county had an area of 665.32 square miles. Much of Monmouth County remains flat and low-lying even far inland, the top portion of the hill is owned by Alcatel-Lucent and houses a research laboratory of Bell Laboratories. The northeastern portion of the county, in the Locust section of Middletown Township, the lowest point is sea level

State highways in New Jersey
–
In the U. S. state of New Jersey, the New Jersey Department of Transportation maintains a system of state highways. Every significant section of roadway maintained by the state is assigned a number, officially State Highway Route X but commonly called Route X by the NJDOT and the general public. Highways are included in the system, and are also called Route X. State Routes are signed with the circular highway shield. The majority of Routes are maintained by the state, but occasionally, for the sake of continuity, major routes are typically assigned one- or two-digit numbers, except where the numbers were chosen to match an adjacent state. Most numbers from 1 to 50 follow a general geographic pattern assigned in 1927, the only suffixed routes other than U. S. Route 9W are short unmarked connections such as Route 76C, an elongated ramp to Interstate 76. The only special route is Route 33 Business, U. S. Route 1 Business. A statewide system of county highways is numbered by the NJDOT in the 500-599 range. All counties but two – Bergen and Monmouth – number their other county routes beginning at 600, County routes in Bergen County range from 2 to 134, those in Monmouth County range from 1 to 57. Ocean County also has a system of county routes with numbers ranging from 3 to 111 in addition to those beginning with 600. The initial system of highways was legislated in 1916. By 1922, the routes were marked, U. S. Route numbers were added to some of the main routes in 1927. Every state highway, even those parts of U. S. Routes, was assigned a number. Some short routes were assigned prefixes of S, for instance, one prefixed and suffixed route - Route S4A - was also defined as a second spur of Route 4. As the system grew, some numbers beyond 50 were used, on January 1,1953, the second renumbering was implemented. Some routes were shortened to remove concurrencies, while others, like Route 25, numbers from 53 to 93 were assigned to renumbered routes, while shorter ones received numbers from 152 to 165. The two planned toll roads — the Garden State Parkway and New Jersey Turnpike - received only those names, the majority of new numbers assigned since the 1953 renumbering have been from 166 to 185, with some short routes instead receiving numbers based on their parents. Minimal disruption was caused by the assignment of Interstate Highway numbers in the late 1950s, in the 1990s, the majority of special U. S

State highway
–
Depending on the state, state highway may be used for one meaning and state road or state route for the other. In some countries such as New Zealand, the state is used in its sense of a nation. By this meaning a state highway is a maintained and numbered by the national government rather than local authorities. Australias State Route system covers urban and inter-regional routes that are not included in the National Route or the National Highway systems and these routes are marked with a blue shield. Sometimes a state route may be formed when a national route is decommissioned. Most states and territories have introduced an alphanumeric numbering system. Brazil is another country that is divided into states and has state highways, canada is divided into provinces and territories, each of which maintains its own system of provincial or territorial highways. Canadas federal National Highway System is a dual system which includes the Trans-Canada Highway network. Italys Strade Statali extend for some 18,000 km, overseen by the Azienda Nazionale Autonoma delle Strade founded in 1946, State highways in India are numbered highways that are laid and maintained by state governments. Mexicos State Highway System is a system of urban and state routes constructed and maintained by each Mexican state, the main purpose of the state networks is to serve as a feeder system to the federal highway system. All states except the Federal District operate a road network, each state marks these routes with a white shield containing the abbreviated name of the state plus the route number. New Zealand state highways are national highways – the word state in this sense means government or public, New Zealands state highway system is a nationwide network of roads covering the North Island and the South Island. As of 2006, just under 100 roads have a State Highway designation, the NZ Transport Agency administers them. The speed limit for most state highways is 100 km/h, with reductions when one passes through a populated area. The highways in New Zealand were originally designated on a system, national and provincial, with national highways having a higher standard. Now all of them are state highways, and the network consists of SH1 running the length of main islands, SH 2–5 and 10–58 in the North Island, and SH 6–8. National and provincial highways are numbered north to south. State Highway 1 runs the length of both islands, local highways are the next important roads under the National highways

U.S. state
–
A U. S. state is a constituent political entity of the United States of America. There are 50 states, which are together in a union with each other. Each state holds administrative jurisdiction over a geographic territory. Due to the shared sovereignty between each state and the government, Americans are citizens of both the federal republic and of the state in which they reside. State citizenship and residency are flexible, and no government approval is required to move between states, except for persons covered by certain types of court orders. States range in population from just under 600,000 to over 39 million, four states use the term commonwealth rather than state in their full official names. States are divided into counties or county-equivalents, which may be assigned some local authority but are not sovereign. County or county-equivalent structure varies widely by state, State governments are allocated power by the people through their individual constitutions. All are grounded in principles, and each provides for a government. States possess a number of powers and rights under the United States Constitution, Constitution has been amended, and the interpretation and application of its provisions have changed. The general tendency has been toward centralization and incorporation, with the government playing a much larger role than it once did. There is a debate over states rights, which concerns the extent and nature of the states powers and sovereignty in relation to the federal government. States and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a legislature consisting of the Senate. Each state is represented in the Senate by two senators, and is guaranteed at least one Representative in the House, members of the House are elected from single-member districts. Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census, the Constitution grants to Congress the authority to admit new states into the Union. Since the establishment of the United States in 1776, the number of states has expanded from the original 13 to 50, alaska and Hawaii are the most recent states admitted, both in 1959. The Constitution is silent on the question of states have the power to secede from the Union. Shortly after the Civil War, the U. S. Supreme Court, in Texas v. White, as a result, while the governments of the various states share many similar features, they often vary greatly with regard to form and substance

New Jersey

New Jersey is a state in the Northeastern and mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. It is bordered on the north and east by New York, on the southeast and south by the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Pennsylvania, New Jersey is the fourth-smallest state but the 11th-most populous and the most densely populated of the 50 United States. New Jersey lies entirely within the statistical areas of New York City. New Jersey was inhabited by Native Americans for more than 2,800 years, in the early 17th century, the Dutch and the Swedes made the first European settlements. New Jersey was the site of decisive battles during the American Revolutionary War in the 18th century. In the 19th century, factories in cities such as Camden, Paterson, Newark, Trenton, around 180 million years ago, during the Jurassic Period, New Jersey bordered North Africa. The pressure of the collision between North America and Africa gave rise to the Appalachian Mountains, around 18,000 years ago, the Ice Age resulted in glaciers that reached New Jersey. As the glaciers retreated, they left behind Lake Passaic, as well as rivers, swamps. New Jersey was originally settled by Native Americans, with the Lenni-Lenape being dominant at the time of contact, scheyichbi is the Lenape name for the land that is now New Jersey. The Lenape society was divided into clans that were based upon common female ancestors. These clans were organized into three distinct phratries identified by their animal sign, Turtle, Turkey, and Wolf and they first encountered the Dutch in the early 17th century, and their primary relationship with the Europeans was through fur trade. The Dutch became the first Europeans to lay claim to lands in New Jersey, the Dutch colony of New Netherland consisted of parts of modern Middle Atlantic states. Although the European principle of ownership was not recognized by the Lenape. The first to do so was Michiel Pauw who established a patronship called Pavonia in 1630 along the North River which eventually became the Bergen, peter Minuits purchase of lands along the Delaware River established the colony of New Sweden. During the English Civil War, the Channel Island of Jersey remained loyal to the British Crown and it was from the Royal Square in St. Helier that Charles II of England was proclaimed King in 1649, following the execution of his father, Charles I. The North American lands were divided by Charles II, who gave his brother, the Duke of York, the region between New England and Maryland as a proprietary colony. James then granted the land between the Hudson River and the Delaware River to two friends who had remained loyal through the English Civil War, Sir George Carteret and Lord Berkeley of Stratton, the area was named the Province of New Jersey. Since the states inception, New Jersey has been characterized by ethnic, New England Congregationalists settled alongside Scots Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed migrants

Pine Barrens (New Jersey)
–
The Pine Barrens, also known as the Pinelands or simply the Pines, is a heavily forested area of coastal plain stretching across more than seven counties of southern New Jersey. The name pine barrens refers to the sandy, acidic. Although European settlers could not cultivate their familiar crops there, the ecology of the Pine Barrens supports a diverse spectrum of plant life, including orchids. The area is notable for its populations of rare pygmy Pitch Pines. The sand that composes much of the soil is referred to by the locals as sugar sand. The Pine Barrens territory helps recharge the 17 trillion gallon Kirkwood-Cohansey aquifer containing some of the purest water in the United States. As a result of all factors, in 1978 Congress passed legislation to designate 1.1 million acres of the Pine Barrens as the Pinelands National Reserve to preserve its ecology. A decade later, it was designated by the United Nations as an International Biosphere Reserve, development in the Pinelands National Reserve is strictly controlled by an independent state/federal agency, the New Jersey Pinelands Commission. The Pinelands Reserve contains the Wharton, Brendan T. Byrne, Penn, the reserve also includes two National Wild and Scenic Rivers, the Maurice and the Great Egg Harbor. John McPhees 1967 book The Pine Barrens focuses on the history, during the colonial era, the Pine Barrens was the location of various industries. Bog iron was mined from bogs, streams, and waterways, and was worked in furnaces at Batsto, Lake Atsion, Ferrago, Hanover, and several other locations. Iron from these furnaces was instrumental in supplying the American military with weapons and camp tools during the American Revolution, the War of 1812. For example, Commodore Stephen Decatur, Jr. sailed to Algiers armed with 24-pound cannons that had been cast at Hanover in 1814, the bog iron industry declined in the mid-19th century after the discovery that iron ore could be mined more cheaply in Pennsylvania. Other industries such as mills, sawmills, and gristmills rose and fell throughout the years. Smaller industries such as charcoal-making and glassmaking also were developed, meeting with varying degrees of success, over time, however, the forest reclaimed almost all traces of the Pine Barrens industrial past. Ghost towns—remnants of villages built around these former industries—can still be found at various locations, Batsto Village has been restored to its mid-19th century state as a state historic site. The Pine Barrens were home to rural, backwoods families. For years, residents of the area were called Pineys by outsiders

Dual carriageway
–
A dual carriageway is a class of highway with carriageways for traffic travelling in opposite directions separated by a central reservation. Roads with two or more carriageways which are designed to higher standards with controlled access are generally classed as motorways, freeways, a road without a central reservation is a single carriageway regardless of the number of lanes. Dual carriageways have improved road traffic safety over single carriageways and typically have speed limits as a result. In some places, express lanes and local/collector lanes are used within a system to provide more capacity. A very early example of a dual carriageway was the Via Portuensis, in 1907 the Long Island Motor Parkway opened, and roughly 20% of it featured a semi-dual-carriageway design. The New York City Belt Parkway system, which was built between 1907 and 1934, also pioneered the same design, however the majority of it featured concrete or brick railings as lane dividers instead of grass medians. In 1924 the first Italian autostrada was opened running 55 km from Milan to Varese and it featured a broad road bed and did not feature lane dividers except near cities and through the mountains. The London end of the Great West Road became Britains first dual carriageway when it was opened in 1925 by King George V, in 1927 the Rome bypass was opened. It ran 92 km bypassing Rome to the east, almost the entire length featured a dual-carriageway design. In the early 1930s it was extended all the way to Naples. Most of the routing was destroyed by the Allies in the World War II. By 1930 several US and European cities had built dual-carriageway highways, in 1932 the first German autobahn opened between Cologne and Bonn. It ran 21 km and became a precedent for future highways, although it, like the first autostrada, did not feature a dual-carriageway design, it inspired the mass construction of future high-speed roadways. During the 1930s, Germany, Italy, and the Soviet Union began construction of a network of dual carriageway expressways. By 1942, Germany had over 3,200 km of dual carriageway roads, Italy had nearly 1,300 km, opened to traffic in 1940, the 160-mile-long Pennsylvania Turnpike was the first rural dual carriageway built in the United States. By 1955 several states had built dual carriageway freeways and turnpikes, completed in 1994, the major highway system links all the major cities of the United States. In the UK, although the dual carriageway applies to any road with physically separated lanes. Such major dual carriageways usually have two lanes of traffic in each direction, with the lane nearest the centre being reserved for overtaking, occasionally dual carriageways have only one lane in each direction, or more than two lanes each way

In 1867, Henry Flagler entered the partnership, the Rockefeller, Andrews & Flagler company grew by incorporating local refineries. As kerosene and gasoline grew in importance, Rockefellers wealth soared and he became the richest person in the country, Oil was used throughout the country as a light source until the introduction of electricity and as a fuel after the invention of the automobile. Furthermore, Rockefeller gained enormous influence over the industry, which transported his oil around the country. Standard Oil was the first great business trust in the United States, Rockefeller revolutionized the petroleum industry, and along with other key contemporary industrialists such as steel magnate Andrew Carnegie, defined the structure of modern philanthropy.

His foundations pioneered the development of research and were instrumental in the eradication of hookworm. Rockefeller was also the founder of both the University of Chicago and Rockefeller University and funded the establishment of Central Philippine University in the Philippines and he was a devout Northern Baptist, and supported many church-based institutions. Rockefeller adhered to total abstinence from alcohol and tobacco throughout his life and he was a faithful congregant of the Erie Street Baptist Mission Church, where he taught Sunday school, and served as a trustee, clerk, and occasional janitor.

Brendan T. Byrne State Forest
–
The Brendan T. Byrne State Forest is a 37,242 acre state forest in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. Its protected acreage is split between Burlington and Ocean Counties, the Brendan T. Byrne State Forest is the states second largest state forest. There are 25 miles of hiking trails and a camping area, the park is operated and maintained by the New Jersey Division of Parks and Forestry. Originally named for the Lebanon Glassworks, which operated in the 1850s and 1860s, Byrne served as governor of New Jersey from 1974 to 1982. He championed and signed the Pinelands Protection Act in February 1979 which preserved thousand of acres in southern New Jersey, the park was renamed for him during the 25th anniversary of the Pinelands legislation by then Governor James McGreevey. The forest lies within the Atlantic coastal pine barrens ecoregion and it includes the 735-acre Cedar Swamp Natural Area, with upland pine-oak forest, oak-pine forest, pitch pine lowland forest, and Atlantic white cedar swamp forest plant communities. The Natural Area protects habitat of the threatened Swamp pink and other endangered plant species, the Mount Misery Trail is a multi-use trail and allows mountain biking. The Batona Trail, designed for hiking, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing, is almost 50 miles in length, it links the Brendan T. Byrne, Wharton, and Bass River State Forests. There is a trail of about two miles, starting at the forest office, and a one-mile loop at Pakim Pond. By combining different trails with the Batona Trail, loops of 6 miles and 14 miles provide day hikes, the cultivated blueberry, a hybrid of the native Vaccinium caesariense, was developed and commercialized here by Elizabeth Coleman White and Frank Coville. The now silent Whitesbog Village exemplifies the changes in agriculture in this state, the site has been leased to the nonprofit Whitesbog Preservation Trust for restoration.

There are flyover ramps that carry the mainline of US30 through the circle, the eastbound US30 ramp heads into the center of the circle, where a ramp for eastbound Route 38 splits and continues east over the circle to connect to that route. Eastbound US30 merges with southbound US130 in the median of that route, the ramp heads over US130, with a ramp from the southbound direction of that route, before continuing west and merging with the ramp to US30 westbound from the center of the circle. To the north of the circle is a residential neighborhood while the Airport Industrial Park is to the southeast, other commercial and industrial establishments surround the circle to the northeast and west. Built in 1925, the Airport Circle is New Jerseys first traffic circle, the circle opened to traffic on July 1,1927, as the first such traffic rotary in the United States. It is named for the former Camden Central Airport, an airport that operated in this vicinity between 1929 and 1957. The Airport Circle was later modified to include overhead ramps and traffic lights to move traffic through, the worlds first drive-in theater opened June 6,1933, on Admiral Wilson Boulevard at Airport Circle a short distance from Cooper River Park.

Brick Township, New Jersey
–
Brick Township is a township in Ocean County, New Jersey, United States. The mainland and beach area of the town are not geographically adjacent, Brick Township was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on February 15,1850, from portions of both Dover Township and Howell Township. The township was named after Joseph Brick, the owner of Bergen Iron Works located on the Metedeconk River, portions of the township were taken to form Point Pleasant Beach, Bay Head, Lakewood Township, Mantoloking and Point Pleasant. In 1963, voters rejected a referendum that would have changed the name to Laurelton. The Havens Homestead Museum is dedicated to the Havens family that settled in the Laurelton/Burrsville section of Brick. The museum is the original Havens home which lies on a plot of farmland. The museum has a shop and runs tours of the property daily. After hovering for years in the top five, in 2006, since the year 2000, Brick Township has been the safest city in New Jersey. In 2003 and 2004, Brick Township was ranked as the second safest city in the United States, after Newton, in 2005, Brick Township had dropped down to the fifth safest city in the United States, before it rebounded to the top in 2006. In 2009, Brick Township ranked No.6 on Newsmax magazines list of the Top 25 Most Uniquely American Cities and Towns, many of the children found to be autistic were born in Northern New Jersey and other parts of the country. There is no evidence that the levels of autism are linked to any specific environmental factor in Brick, parents of children diagnosed with autism have moved to the township in order to make use of the special education programs offered by the school district. Brick has also been home to the Heroin epidemic, according to the states statistics, in 2012 Brick was ranked sixth in the state with 550 reported incidents of heroin or opiate abuse, behind Newark, Jersey City, Paterson, Atlantic City, and Camden. Fortunately, in 2015 Brick was bumped back down to eight in the state with 407 reported heroin abuse cases. During the December 2010 North American blizzard, Brick Township received 30 inches of snow, in October 2012, parts of Brick were devastated by Hurricane Sandy. Barrier island and other waterfront properties were particularly hard hit, homes and such buildings as the Shore Acres Yacht Club sustained major damage, some buildings had to be demolished. According to the United States Census Bureau, the township had an area of 32.315 square miles. Bayberry Court and Maypink Lane are two streets that are not accessible any other Brick roads, and are served by the United States Postal Service as ZIP code 07731 with Howell Township.

Cloverleaf interchange
–
A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange in which left turns are handled by ramp roads. To go left, vehicles first continue as one passes over or under the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-fourths loop ramp. The objective of a cloverleaf is to two highways to cross without the need for any traffic to be stopped by red lights, even for left. The limiting factor in the capacity of an interchange is traffic weaving. Cloverleaf interchanges, viewed from overhead or on maps, resemble the leaves of a four-leaf clover, in the United States, cloverleaf interchanges existed long before the interstate system. They were originally created for busier interchanges that the diamond interchange system could not handle. Their chief advantage was that they were free-flowing and did not require the use of devices as traffic signals. This not only made them an option for interchanges between freeways, but they could also be used for very busy arterials where signals could present congestion problems. They are common in the United States and have used for over 40 years as the Interstate Highway System expanded rapidly. One problem is that, frequently, large trucks exceeding the speed limit roll over. Another problem is the merging of traffic, for these reasons, cloverleaf interchanges have become a common point of traffic congestion at busy junctions. At-grade cloverleaf configurations with four leaves and full outside slip ramps are extremely rare, though one exists in Toms River. Any other intersection with one, two, or three leaf ramps with outer ramps would not be designated a cloverleaf and simply be referred to as a jughandle or parclo intersection. The first cloverleaf interchange patented in the US was by Arthur Hale, several cloverleaf interchanges were built in the late 1920s, however, it is unclear which was first. The first cloverleaf interchange built in the United States was the Woodbridge Cloverleaf at intersection of the Lincoln Highway and Amboy—now St. Georges—Avenue in Woodbridge Township and it opened in 1929, and has been replaced with a partial cloverleaf interchange. The original cloverleaf interchange was designed by the Rudolph and Delano building firm from Philadelphia, and was modeled after a plan from Buenos Aires, Argentina. The first cloverleaf west of the Mississippi River opened on August 20,1931, at Watson Road and Lindbergh Boulevard near St. Louis, Missouri and this interchange, however, has since been replaced with a diamond interchange. The cloverleaf was patented in Europe in Switzerland on October 15,1928, the first cloverleaf in Europe opened in October 1935 at Slussen in central Stockholm, Sweden, followed in 1936 by Schkeuditzer Kreuz near Leipzig, Germany

NJ Transit
–
NJT also acts as a purchasing agency for many private operators in New Jersey, with numerous private operators receiving equipment from NJT for route service within the state not controlled by NJT. NJT was founded on July 17,1979, an offspring of the New Jersey Department of Transportation and it came into being with the passage of the Public Transportation Act of 1979 to acquire, operate, and contract for transportation service in the public interest. NJT originally acquired and managed a number of bus services, one of the largest being those operated by the states largest electric company. It gradually acquired most of the bus services. In northern New Jersey, many of the bus routes are arranged in a web, in southern New Jersey, most routes are arranged in a spoke-and-hub fashion, with routes emanating from Trenton, Camden, and Atlantic City. Since inception, rail ridership has quadrupled, in the 1990s the rail system expanded, with new Midtown Direct service to New York City and new equipment. On October 21,2001, it opened a new station at Newark Liberty International Airport, on October 31,2005, NJT took over Clocker service from Amtrak. Four new trains were added to the schedule, but cut back to Trenton, during Hurricane Sandy in October 2012, the rail operations center of NJ Transit was flooded by 8 feet of water and an emergency generator submerged. Floodwater damaged at least 65 locomotive engines and 257 rail cars, the Governor of New Jersey appoints a seven-member Board of Directors, four members from the general public and three State officials. The Governor has veto power on decisions made by the board, for buses around Trenton, and NJ Transit Rail Operations, Inc. for commuter rail. NJT operates 871 bus routes using 2,477 buses and the Newark Light Rail with 20 light rail vehicles, the bus fleet includes buses purchased for other New Jersey operators above the 2,477. The fleet consists of 52 Kinki Sharyo electric light rail vehicles owned by NJT, Newark Light Rail – two segments serving Newark and the surrounding area. The Newark City Subway has 12 stops, is 4.3 miles long, connecting Newark Penn Station to North Newark, the Broad Street Extension has five stops, is 1.0 mile long, and connects Newark Penn Station to Newark Broad Street Station. The fleet consists of 21 Kinki Sharyo electric light rail vehicles owned and operated by the Central Division of NJT Bus Operations. River Line – a 21-stop 34 miles line from Trenton to Camden along the Delaware River, mostly along the Bordentown Secondary line formerly owned by Conrail, the fleet consists of 20 Stadler GTW diesel light rail vehicles owned by NJT and operated under contract by Bombardier Transportation. NJT operates over 100 diesel locomotives, of which 11 are supplied by Metro-North Railroad as part of an agreement for the Port Jervis Line. It has over 650 push-pull cars, of which 65 are supplied by Metro-North, the New Jersey Transit Police Department is the transit police force for NJT.

Atlantic City Line
–
It runs over trackage that was controlled by both the Pennsylvania Railroad and the Pennsylvania-Reading Seashore Lines. It shares trackage with SEPTA and Amtrak on the Northeast Corridor until it crosses the Delaware River on its own Delair Bridge into New Jersey, the Atlantic City Line also shares the right-of-way with the PATCO Speedline between Haddonfield and Lindenwold, New Jersey. There are 14 departures each day in each direction, conrail also uses short sections of the line for freight movements, including the NEC-Delair Bridge section to its main freight yard in Camden, New Jersey. Unlike all other NJT railway lines, the Atlantic City line does not have traditional rush hour service, the Atlantic City line is colored dark blue on New Jersey Transits system maps, and the lines symbol is a lighthouse. In the 19th and early 20th century, Atlantic City was the seaside vacation destination for the Philadelphia area for both wealthy and working class alike. Competition was fierce and the ACRR and C&A lines boasted some of the fastest trains in the world, conrail took over from the PRSL in 1976, maintaining service between Lindenwold and Atlantic City, Ocean City and Cape May. In 1981 NJDOT discontinued the chronically under-performing South Jersey rail services, almost immediately, there was talk of restoring the line to Atlantic City. A deal with Amtrak was worked out where the line, suffering from decades of deferred maintenance and in places outright abandonment, dubbed the Gamblers Express, service connected Atlantic City with cities up and down the Northeast Corridor as well as a local commuter service run by NJT. The current Atlantic City line opened May 21,1989, with Amtrak running from New York, Philadelphia, service was soon extended to Springfield, Massachusetts, and Richmond, and for a brief period, the Philadelphia International Airport. The following September, NJT moved in, serving commuters between Atlantic City and Lindenwold, at Lindenwold, passengers had to transfer to PATCO. By 1994, Amtrak realized that their Atlantic City plan was poorly marketed, as a result, it was announced that Amtrak would discontinue service effective April 1,1995. Initially, there were worries that NJT would also cease operations, as Amtrak had been helping maintain the track, however, NJT reluctantly opted to stay, as the line was the transit agencys only commuter line in South Jersey. For the time being, a target of a US $1 million subsidy reduction was set in March 1996, NJT eventually extended service into Philadelphia, and a new station facility was built in Cherry Hill, New Jersey. Ridership increased and NJT decided to maintain the line after declaring that the ridership had met the target set for it. Another improvement that has occurred was the starting of a shuttle service between the Atlantic City Rail Terminal and the citys casinos. Free jitneys shuttle passengers to the shore and the various casinos, on May 12,2009, New Jersey Governor Jon S. This enables Atlantic City passengers to travel as far as New York completely on New Jersey Transit rail and light rail, the Pennsauken Transit Center opened to passengers on October 14,2013. The line received some damage from Hurricane Sandy on October 29–30,2012 and this route operated between the Atlantic City Rail Terminal and Pennsylvania Station in Midtown Manhattan

New Jersey Route 154
–
Route 154 is a 1.70 miles long state highway in Cherry Hill Township, Camden County, New Jersey. The route ends concurrent with Route 41 for the distance from the junction between the two routes. Brace Road is the name for Route 154 for its entire length. Route 154 is a portion of State Highway Route 41. The route remained intact for decades, until the construction of a bypass around Haddonfield. By the time of the 1953 renumbering on January 1,1953, Route 41 was realigned onto a roadway, signed as Temporary 41. During the 1960s, the old alignment was designated as Route 154, from 1984 to 1992, the New Jersey Department of Transportation removed the Ellisburg Circle, built in 1938 at Route 154s northern terminus. Route 154 begins at an intersection with County Route 561 in the community of Cherry Hill, the site of the former Cherry Hill Arena, now occupied by a shopping center, lies on the routes east side at its beginning. The highway progresses northward as Brace Road, passing some large commercial districts. The route continues, passing several commercial businesses until approaching an intersection with Camden County Route 671 in the northeast portion of Tyndall Village. Route 154 continues northward, passing to the east of several commercial buildings. The route continues northward, passing Kingsway Circle Park before becoming moderately developed with homes and businesses, after the intersection with Munn Lane West, Route 154 becomes surrounded by large, deep patches of trees until the intersection with Kenwood Drive, where residential homes return. At the intersection, Route 154 gains its own service road for the local residences, a short distance later, Route 41 comes in from the west and becomes concurrent with Route 154 for a short distance. Passing some large businesses in Ellisburg, a part of Cherry Hill, Route 41 and Route 154 intersect with Route 70, the alignment of Route 154 was originally a stretch of State Highway Route 41 through Cherry Hill and Ellisburg assigned in the 1927 renumbering of state highways. The route went from its current alignment along former State Highway Route 25 to current Route 154 instead of via the Kings Highway, the route remained intact until plans for a bypass around Haddonfield arose in 1929. The route remained unnumbered until the 1960s, when it was given the designation of Route 154. In 1938, the State Highway Department tore down the Ellisburg General Store and this circle, known as the Ellisburg Circle, was removed in 1992, while plans arose in the late 1980s to remove the congested circle, hosting the junctions of Route 154,41 and 70. The impetus to remove the structure and replace it with an intersection was produced in 1987

New Jersey Turnpike
–
The New Jersey Turnpike, colloquially known to New Jerseyans as the Turnpike, is a toll road in New Jersey, maintained by the New Jersey Turnpike Authority. According to the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association, the Turnpike is the nations sixth-busiest toll road and is one of the most heavily traveled highways in the United States and its northern terminus is located at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, Bergen County. The Turnpike is a major thoroughfare providing access to localities in New Jersey, as well as Delaware, Pennsylvania. The route divides into four roadways between exit 6 and exit 14, with the inner lanes restricted to carrying only cars, and with the outer lanes for cars, trucks and buses. The northern part of the turnpike, along with the entirety of its extensions and spurs, is part of the Interstate Highway System. South of exit 6, it has the unsigned Route 700 designation, construction of the mainline from conceptualization to completion took 23 months, from 1950 to 1952. It was officially opened to traffic in November 1951, between its terminus and exit 10. The Interstate Highway System took some of its design guidelines by copying the Turnpikes design guidelines, to some degree, the Turnpike is considered iconic in pop culture, having been referenced in music, film and television. The main road of the New Jersey Turnpike splits from I-295 in Carneys Point Township and runs a north-northeast route to Ridgefield Park and it is designated Route 700, an unsigned route, from exit 1 to exit 6, and as I-95 from exit 6 to exit 18. The number of ranges from 4 lanes south of exit 4,6 lanes between exit 4 and exit 6,12 lanes between exit 6 and exit 11, and 14 lanes between exit 11 and exit 14. None of these state highway designations have ever been signed, specifically, starting in Mansfield Township, the Turnpike has a total of 12 lanes,6 in each direction. From Woodbridge Township to Newark, High-occupancy vehicle lanes exist on the outer roadway, thereby making it 7 lanes in each direction. The HOV lanes are in effect on weekdays, from 6,00 a. m. –9,00 a. m. northbound, north of exit 14, the Turnpike splits into two spurs, the Eastern Spur and the Western Spur. Both spurs are signed as I-95, the Western Spur is posted for through traffic on I-95 seeking Interstate 280, the Meadowlands Sports Complex, and the George Washington Bridge. Traffic seeking U. S. Route 46, Interstate 80, the New Jersey Department of Transportation, which calls every class of highway Route, calls the Western Spur Route 95W. It connects Newark with Lower Manhattan via the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City and this extension contains three exits and due to its design, it has a 50 mph speed limit. A 6-mile long six-lane highway, it not only connects the Pennsylvania Turnpike with the mainline and it was formerly designated as Route 700P, but is currently designated I-95 in anticipation of the completion of the Pennsylvania Turnpike/Interstate 95 Interchange Project in 2018. A 4-mile stretch of I-95 north of U. S.46 came under Turnpike Authority jurisdiction in 1992 and this section of the road travels past the interchange for I-80 and through a cut in the Hudson Palisades at GWB Plaza
